Farewell to Manzanar

1) How did the food served at the camp show lack of understanding of the Japanese culture?

 The food severed at the camp lacked the understanding of Japanese culture because the cooks put sweet fruit over the rice which the Japanese do not do because they only put salty or savory food over the rice.

2) Why do you think the families in the camps were assigned numbers?

 I think the families in the camps were assigned numbers because everything looked the same in the camps; the food, building and even the inside of the buildings.

Erwin Rommel

Erwin Rommel was a strong general for the German. During World War 1 he fought as a lieutenant in France, Romania and Italy. In the following years Rommel would work his way up to become commander of the 7th Panzer division. The following year he was appointed commander of German troops (the Afrika korps).

 The battle that he was most known for was the Battle of Gazelle, where he took over the city of Tobruk. Not long after, Hitler promoted Rommel to field marshal. Later in his carrier he acquired the name "Desert Fox" for his surprise attacks, he also gained big popularity in the Arab world and was regarded as both one of Hitler's most successful generals and one of Germany's most popular military leaders. In early 1944 Rommel began to have suspicions about Hitler’s ability of peace making and started to question Germany's reason for participating in the war in the first place. Friends told Rommel that he should become leader after Hitler was overthrown.

In June 1944 after the allied invasion had already pushed across France Rommel knew Germany would lose the war and started to discuss with other generals about surrendering. With more then 1 million enemies troop invading Normandy Hitler and the German officers were on pins and needles. With tensions high there was an assassination attempt against Hitler on July 20, 1944. Word got out that Rommel was involved in the plan to over throw Hitler and Rommel was offered two choices, either he would have to choose taking poison or go to trail against Hitler which he knew he would lose because of Hitler's way of getting things. Later that day Hitler's general brought him the poison.
